SECTION 10. Allocation of Income and Losses.
(a) General. It is the intent of the Partners that the tax allocations of the Partnership will meet the requirements for “substantial economic effect” of Section 704 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations or similar authority promulgated thereunder. The tax allocations set forth herein shall be interpreted consistently with the foregoing intent.
(b) Subject to Section 10(h) and Section 10(j) hereof, all profits of the Partnership shall be allocated for each Taxable Year as follows:
(i) first, to the Partners, up to the aggregate of, and in proportion to, any Excess Loss previously allocated to each Partner in accordance with Section 10(d) hereof, to the extent not previously offset by allocations of profits pursuant to this Section 10(b)(i), in the reverse order in which such Excess Losses were allocated; and
(ii) [illegible]
(c) Subject to Section 10(d), Section 10(h) and Section 10(c) hereof, all losses of the Partnership, if any, shall be allocated for each Taxable Year to the Partners in accordance with their Partnership Interests.
(d) The losses allocated pursuant to Section 10(c) shall not exceed the maximum amount of losses that can be so allocated without causing any Partner to be allocated an Excess Loss. If some but not all Partners would be allocated an Excess Loss as a result of an allocation of losses under Section 10(c), the limitation contained in this Section 10(d) shall be applied on a Partner by Partner basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible losses to each Partner under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 10(b), but subject to Section 10(h) and Section 10(j), the profits or losses of the Partnership for the taxable year of liquidation of the Partnership shall be allocated prior to the final liquidating distributions of the Partnership and shall be allocated first to eliminate all negative balances in any Partner’s Capital Account and then, to the extent possible, in a manner such that the Capital Accounts of the Partners immediately prior to such final liquidating distribution are equal to the amount which would have been distributable to the Partners under Section 9 if such distributions were to be governed by Section 9.
8
(f) Special Allocation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, if and to the extent LBC receives any indemnification payments pursuant to Section 25, LBC shall be specially allocated gross profits of the Partnership in such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such indemnification payments. In the year in which the Partnership is liquidated, if the aggregate amount of gross profits allocated to LBC pursuant to the preceding sentence is less than the aggregate amount of indemnification payments received by LBC pursuant to Section 25, LBC shall be specially allocated items of gross income of the Partnership in an amount equal to such deficit.
(g) Change in Partnership Interests. If there is a change in any Partner’s Partnership Interest during any year, allocations among the Partners shall be made in accordance with their Partnership Interests in the Partnership from time to time during such year in accordance with Section 706 of the Code using the closing-of-the-books method, except that depreciation, amortization and similar items shall be deemed to accrue ratably on a daily basis over the entire year during which the corresponding asset is owned by the Partnership for the entire year, and over the portion of a year after such asset is placed in service by the Partnership if such asset is placed in service during the year.
(h) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Treasury Regulations, and after giving effect to the allocations required under Sections 10(a) and 10(d) hereof, such Partner has a Capital Account Deficit (after taking into account the adjustments described in the definition of “Excess Loss”), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, its Capital Account deficit (as so adjusted) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.
(i) Special Rules.
(i) If any Partnership asset has a book value different from its adjusted tax basis to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes (whether by reason of the contribution of such property to the Partnership, the revaluation of such property hereunder or otherwise), allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and tax preference under this Section 10 with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its book value in the manner prescribed by Section 704(c) of the Code or the principles set forth in Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Treasury Regulations, as the case may be, using the Remedial Method.
(ii) Items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and tax preference for state and local income tax purpose shall be allocated to and among the Partners in a manner consistent with the allocation of such items for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.
9
(j) Allocations of Non-Recourse Liabilities and Minimum Gain Chargeback. Allocations attributable to non-recourse liabilities shall be made consistent with Section 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations including the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations.
SECTION 11. Withholding. The Partnership is authorized to withhold from distributions to be made to a Partner, or with respect to allocations to a Partner, and to pay over to a federal, state or local government, any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state or local law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as distributed to such Partner pursuant to this Section 11 for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be offset against the net amounts otherwise distributable to such Partner. The Partnership may also withhold from distributions that would otherwise be made to a Partner, and apply to the obligations of such Partner, any amounts that such Partner owes to the Partnership.
SECTION 12. Books, Records and Accounting.
(a) Books and Records.

A Sale of a Partnership Interest shall not entitle the assignee to become or to exercise any rights or powers of a Partner until such assignee is admitted as a Partner in accordance with this Agreement.

16
Interest to be paid by the Purchaser and the other terms and conditions of the Purchase Offer.

(v) Remittance of Consideration. At the closing of the Sale of Partnership Interest pursuant to this Section 18(b) the consideration with respect to the Partnership Interests of any Partner sold pursuant hereto shall be paid directly to each Partner pursuant to written instructions of such Partner.
(vi) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 18(b), there shall be no liability on the part of the Selling Partner to any Partner in the event that the Sale of Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 18(b) is not consummated for whatever reason.

No Partner may Sell any Partnership Interest (or any portion thereof or interest therein) to any Person, including without limitation any Sale pursuant to Section 18(b), and no Person shall become a Partner, unless in the opinion of counsel selected by or acceptable to the General Partner, such action will not: (i) subject the Partnership to federal income taxation as an association taxable as a corporation; (ii) or, violate applicable state or federal securities laws (such requirements, the “Assignment Conditions”).

(d) New Partners. Except as provided in Paragraph (f) below, a Person, including, without limitation, an assignee of a Partnership Interest, shall be admitted as a Partner only upon: (i) the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner; unless such Person is (1) an assignee of all or a portion of the Partnership Interest of a Partner and (2) an Affiliate of the Partner assigning such Partnership Interest, an assignee of JBC, or an assignee of LBC (subject to the limitation of Paragraph (f) below), in which event such consent shall be given unless the assignment giving rise to the admission of such Person was made in violation of the Assignment Conditions or Section 18(f); (ii) the execution by such Person of this Agreement or a joinder to this Agreement; and (iii) during the Restrictive Period, receipt by LBC of the Tax Assurances.

The Partnership shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice from LBC to (i) indicate whether or not it desires to redeem LBC’s Partnership Interest and (ii) if it elects to redeem LBC’s Partnership Interest, the proposed fair market value of the 35 X.

If the Partnership elects not to redeem the LBC Partnership Interest, then LBC shall be permitted to sell its Partnership Interest during the six (6) month period thereafter provided that the purchaser of such Partnership Interest shall be subject to the approval of the General Partner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Without the consent of any other Partner, from time to time, VV City-Buck may pledge its Partnership Interest to a lending institution to secure a loan, so long as a purpose of such loan is to acquire funds to make VV City-Buck’s Capital Contribution (or refinance the amount outstanding on any such loan) and so long as such loan is from, and such pledge is to, an institutional lender.

SECTION 22. Not a Publicly Traded Partnership.
All interests in the Partnership have been or will be issued in transaction(s) that were not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), and to the extent such offerings or sales were not required to be registered under the 1933 Act by reason of Regulation S (17 CFR 230.901 through 230.904) or any successor thereto, such offerings or sales would not have been required to be registered under the 1933 Act if the interests so offered or sold had been offered and sold within the United States.
No admission (or purported admission) of a Partner, and no transfer (or purported transfer) of all or any part of a Partner’s interest in the Partnership (or any economic interest therein) in the Partnership, whether to another Partner or to a person who is not a Partner, shall be effective, and any such admission or transfer (or purported admission or transfer) shall be void ab initio and no person shall otherwise become a Partner if (i) at the time of such admission or transfer (or purported admission or transfer) any interest in the Partnership (or economic interest therein) is traded on an established securities market or readily tradeable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof or (ii) after such admission or transfer (or purported admission or transfer) the Partnership would have more than 100 Partners. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, an established securities market is a national securities exchange that is either registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
21
“1934 Act” or exempt from registration because of the limited volume of transactions, a foreign securities exchange that, under the law of the jurisdiction where it is organized, satisfies regulatory requirements that are analogous to the regulatory requirements of the 1934 Act, a regional or local exchange, or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations by identified brokers or dealers by electronic means or otherwise. For purposes of such clause (i), interests in the Partnership (or interests therein) are readily tradeable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof if (i) interests in the Partnership (or interests therein) are regularly quoted by any person, such as a broker or dealer, making a market in the interests; (ii) any person regularly makes available to the public (including customers or subscribers) bid or offer quotes with respect to interests in the Partnership (or interests therein) and stands ready to effect buy or sell transactions at the quoted prices for itself or on behalf of others; (iii) the holder of an interest in the Partnership has a readily available, regular, and ongoing opportunity to sell or exchange such interest (or interests therein) through a public means of obtaining or providing information of offers to buy, sell, or exchange such interests; or (iv) prospective buyers and sellers otherwise have the opportunity to buy, sell, or exchange interests in the Partnership (or interests therein) in a time frame and with the regularity and continuity that is comparable to that described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this sentence. For purposes of determining whether the Partnership will have more than 100 Partners,, each person indirectly owning an interest in the Partnership through a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes), a grantor trust or an S corporation (each such entity a “flow-through entity”) shall be treated as a Partner unless the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion that less than substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest in the flow-through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Partnership. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the General Partner hereby acknowledges that less than substantially all of the value of the beneficial owners’ interests in LBC is attributable to LBC’s Partnership Interest.
SECTION 23. Debt Maintenance, Transfer Prohibition. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at all times during the Restrictive Period, the Partnership shall maintain such level of non-recourse indebtedness secured by the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property and cause such portion of such indebtedness to be allocated to LBC under Code §752 and the regulations thereunder as is sufficient to protect LBC against recognizing gain pursuant to Code §731(a)(1) as a result of a deemed distribution of money to LBC pursuant to Code §752(b) (the “Debt Maintenance Requirement”). During the Restrictive Period, the Partnership (and any successor thereto) shall not refinance, sell, transfer, or in any other manner alter the ownership structure or ownership entity of the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property in any manner that could cause adverse tax consequences to LBC in the reasonable opinion of LBC’s tax counsel, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx (or such other counsel as may be reasonably approved by the Partnership) (the “Transfer Prohibition”) In addition, upon the expiration of the Restrictive Period and until the end of the initial term of the Lease, LBC shall have the option, to the extent of indebtedness available for such purpose, of guarantying on a “bottom dollar basis,” an amount of indebtedness of the Partnership or any successor thereto, sufficient to provide an allocation of debt to LBC equal to the amount of debt then required to be allocated to LBC to enable LBC to avoid recognizing gain pursuant to Code §731(a)(1) as a result of a deemed distribution of money to LBC pursuant to Code §752(b). Such rights shall terminate if the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property is sold following the expiration of the Restrictive Period to a party that is not an Affiliate of any of the Partners, or any Affiliate of any
Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 24, the Debt Maintenance Requirement and Transfer Prohibition shall cease to apply, and the Restrictive Period shall terminate, if LBC has voluntarily and independently recognized its taxable gain resulting from the transfer of the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property to the Partnership or has defaulted in the payment of rent or other material economic obligations under the LBC Lease and such default has remained uncured for a period of sixty (60) days following written demand therefor.
SECTION 24. Tax Indemnity. The Partnership hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LBC and its shareholders (the “LBC Indemnitees”) on an after-tax basis, against the adverse tax impact to the LBC Indemnitees of the Partnership’s use of the Remedial Method during the Restrictive Period. The amount of such indemnification with respect to use of the Remedial Method, which shall be calculated and adjusted annually, shall have a present value equal to the excess of (i) the sum of the present values of (x) the income taxes actually paid by the LBC Indemnitees with respect to LBC’s interest in the Partnership during the Restrictive Period, plus (y) the taxes that would have been paid by the LBC Indemnitees if the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property were sold at the end of the Restrictive Period, plus (z) the income taxes actually paid by the LBC Indemnitees as a result of the receipt of indemnification payments (with any reduction in LBC’s tax basis in its Partnership Interest in the Partnership as a result of its receipt of such indemnification payments being deemed to result in gain at the end of the Restrictive Period) over (ii) the present value of the income taxes that the LBC Indemnitees would have paid during the Restrictive Period if the traditional allocation method under Code Section 704(c) (without curative allocations) had been used, the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property were sold at the end of the Restrictive Period, and throughout the Restrictive Period, LBC had been allocated an amount of non-recourse debt at least equal to its negative basis in the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property (the amount of such excess, the “Remedial Indemnification Amount”). In addition, in the event that the Partnership shall fail to comply with the Transfer Prohibition, the Partnership hereby further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the LBC Indemnitees from and against the after-tax present value of the detriment incurred by the LBC Indemnitees as a result of such failure, taking into account the timing and character of taxable income recognized by the LBC Indemnitees as a result of such failure (the “Transfer Indemnification Amount”). Notwithstanding the letter dated July 21, 1999 attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, the Remedial Indemnification Amount shall be payable on an annual basis by the Partnership to LBC not later than January 14th of the year following the year in question, subject to adjustment for audit or other amendments of the tax return for the Partnership for the year in question. The annual amount payable in respect thereof shall be calculated as provided above assuming that no income tax impact will occur in subsequent years of the Restrictive Period under the Remedial Method relative to the traditional method. At the election of VV City-Buck, the Remedial Indemnification Amount (as estimated from time to time) can be prepaid at any time during the Restrictive Period, subject to later adjustment. LBC and VV City-Buck’s predecessor in interest (JBC and SOFI IV) have entered into the following letter agreements that describe the way in which the Remedial Indemnification Amount and Transfer Indemnification Amount are calculated: (i) letter dated March 2, 1999 attached hereto as Exhibit D-1; (ii) letter dated July 21, 1999 attached hereto as Exhibit D-2; and (iii) letter dated July 22, 1999 attached hereto as Exhibit D-3 (collectively, the “Letter Agreements”). LBC and VV City-Buck hereby ratify and confirm the validity of the foregoing Letter Agreements, and VV City-Buck, as the successor of JBC and SOFI IV, and LBC agree to be bound the terms of those letter agreements. Finally, VV City-Buck agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the LBC Indemnitees, on an after-tax basis,
23
against the adverse tax impact to the LBC Indemnitees, if any, of the conversion of the Original Company from a limited liability company to a limited partnership and the admission of VV City-Buck as the General Partner of the Partnership (the “Conversion Indemnification Amount”) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 25, all of the foregoing tax indemnities shall terminate, if and when LBC has voluntarily and independently recognized its taxable gain resulting from the transfer of the 35 X. Xxxxxx Property to the Partnership or has defaulted in the payment of rent or other material economic obligations under the LBC Lease and such default has remained uncured for a period of sixty (60) days following written demand therefor.

Xxxxxx Property and the various components thereof; (ii) the 35 X.
